Contents: |
From 1957 until 1971, the Administration and Press offices shared the same secretary and files. After 1971, the two offices
were separated, as were their filing systems. Therefore some of the subseries are identical to those in the Press Office files
series. This series consists of those activities that are not directly associated with "legislating" or providing constituent
services but are nevertheless part of the routine of every officeholder. Also included are visitor cards, guest books, the
Senator's appointment books, telephone records, and White House tour requests. Topics include the desegregation of the University
of Mississippi in 1962; the civil action suit between Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor of Atlanta, and Rev. Robert Hunter, leader of
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1967; Vietnam; reaction to the Gulf of Tonkin and Mansfield Resolutions in
1967; the Pueblo incident; and the Whitten Amendment of 1969 which proposed the freedom of choice as an acceptable desegregation
plan.

Dates: |
circa 1749-1930 |
|
|
Contents: |
The collection consists of papers of the Rev. Charles Colcock Jones family of Liberty County, Georgia from ca. 1749-1909.
The early letters (1850-1861) are between Charles Colcock Jones and Mary Jones in Liberty County, Georgia and their son, Charles
Jr., while at school in Princeton and Harvard and later in Savannah (Ga.) where he set up his law practice. The letters discuss
social and family life, plantation life, politics and government, religious philosophies, and events leading up to the Civil
War. From 1861-1865, Charles Jr.'s letters chronicle his involvement as an officer in the Chatham Artillery stationed along
the Georgia coast near Savannah, then Charleston and James Island (S.C.), and Jacksonville (Fla.). After the war, the personal
correspondence is mainly between Charles Jr., his mother Mary Jones, his wife Eva Eve Jones, and his brother Joseph Jones.
There is also a smattering of correspondence regarding his law practice.
The collection also contains two volumes of letters Eva Eve Jones wrote to family describing her travels through Europe in
1879, manuscripts of Charles Jr.'s writings on Georgia history, Charles Jr.'s speeches including an 1861 speech to the Chatham
Artillery, and addresses (1886-1892) he gave before the Confederate Survivors Association. Also included is a copy of the
original manuscript for William Bartram's book Observations on the Creek and Cherokee Indians attributed to Ephraim G. Sqier
(1821-1888). The manuscript contains tracings of Bartram's drawing of prehistoric mounds, Creek towns, and Cherokee and Creek
structures not found in the published work.
